A significant maritime incident occurred on Monday, intensifying tensions between China and the Philippines.
A collision between a Chinese Coast Guard vessel and a Philippine navy boat has led to conflicting narratives from the two nations, highlighting the ongoing territorial disputes in the region.
The collision took place as the Philippine naval vessel attempted a resupply run to the BRP Sierra Madre, an antiquated tank landing vessel grounded intentionally on the Second Thomas Shoal since 1999.
This vessel, originally constructed for the US Navy during World War II, now serves as a critical outpost for the Philippine military.
China has deployed its aircraft carrier Shandong and an electronic surveillance ship to the Western Pacific in a direct response to the US-Philippines Balikatan drills and the unprecedented deployment of ship-sinking missiles in Luzon Strait. The US Navy's USS Nimitz is also active in the region. Beijing warned that any military collusion targeting China’s interests will face consequences. With 9,000 US and 5,000 Filipino troops participating, tensions in the South China Sea are at a boiling point, signaling a potential confrontation in the Taiwan Strait corridor.

Japan’s historic visit to Cambodia’s Chinese-renovated Ream Naval Base has sparked concern in Washington. The port call by two Japanese warships marks the first docking at the base, which has raised questions about Beijing’s growing influence in Southeast Asia. Despite assurances from Cambodia that the base is open to all nations, the U.S. has expressed fears over China's expanding strategic foothold in the Gulf of Thailand, a region near the disputed South China Sea. As tensions rise between global powers, this move signals a significant shift in the region’s military and diplomatic dynamics. Watch to understand why this event is creating waves in international relations.

Duterte reportedly sought asylum in China amid fears of an International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest. China has denied media reports that former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte sought asylum in the country before his arrest on March 11, 2025. Beijing's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Guo Jiakun, stated that neither Duterte nor his family submitted an asylum request. Duterte was detained in Manila following an ICC warrant for crimes against humanity related to his controversial war on drugs, which led to thousands of extrajudicial killings.

Rodrigo Duterte ARRESTED! In a dramatic turn of events, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has been arrested in Manila following an International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant for crimes against humanity. Duterte, who led a controversial anti-drug crackdown from 2016 to 2022, is accused of overseeing thousands of extrajudicial killings during his brutal “war on drugs.” The arrest at Manila airport comes amid global scrutiny, with human rights groups demanding justice for the victims. While his supporters call the move politically motivated, critics hail it as a step toward accountability.

Tensions are escalating in the Asia-Pacific as China slams the U.S.-Philippines joint military drills near Taiwan. The 2025 Balikatan exercises involve over 14,000 troops and simulated island defenses — moves Beijing says threaten regional peace. Chinese officials accuse the Philippines of colluding with foreign powers and warn the drills will disrupt stability and economic growth. As Australia, Japan, and others join or observe the war games, China warns: “Those who play with fire will get burned.” The Luzon Strait — near Taiwan — is now the center of global attention.

Retired Supreme Court Justice Adolfo Azcuna told senators that former President Duterte's arrest and surrender to the ICC may have bypassed a critical legal step—court presentation under Philippine law. Azcuna warned the missing procedure could be seen as “abuse of process” by the ICC and called on the Supreme Court to determine its legality. He raised concerns of “extrajudicial rendition,” urging a review ahead of the ICC’s pretrial in September 2025. Duterte faces charges over drug war killings linked to 43 murders, and risks life imprisonment if convicted.

U.S. Navy fighter jets from the USS Carl Vinson and Harry S. Truman are conducting continuous precision strikes on Iran-backed Houthi targets in Yemen. U.S. Central Command released new footage showing intense operations as American warplanes hammer Houthi-held sites across the region. The strikes come amid growing Red Sea tensions, stalled nuclear talks with Iran, and the presence of U.S. carriers near Iranian waters. As diplomacy falters, Washington signals it’s prepared for broader conflict—with all options still on the table.

In a stunning late-night decision, the U.S. Supreme Court has halted the Trump administration’s controversial plan to deport Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 — a wartime law not used since WWII. The emergency ruling comes after civil rights groups warned of mass deportations at Texas detention centers, invoking fears of legal overreach and ethnic targeting. Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito dissented, setting the stage for a dramatic legal showdown. Is history repeating itself? Is this a new era of immigration enforcement?
